The same thing that feminists mean when they say that when women have their own money the relationship is more equal i.e the woman gets everything that matters her own way.
maybe we should vote in public too (actually there are semi good arguments either way there).
other than to point to some politically motivated "lack of awareness" of the facts of biology.
but for reasons of biology men are more focused on sex and related emotions and care less about other things and are therfore more tolerant.
for her to dislike him this much after she was willing to bring him home. Actually if he was that bad why was he still there.
My house for one, my girlfriend pisses all over the seat all the time. I've been tempted more that once to "practice" pissing through the hole rather than lifting the seat up just to make a point (she doesn't need this device though because she's the only female who uses this bathroom, actually she DOES need it but she has no reason to think so).
Why would men EVER say this, men unlike women apparently, know that they have to make sure the seat is down BEFORE they sit down. In fact if men had a preference it would be for the seat to ALWAYS be left up so no one pisses on it (no men anyway). It's kind of funny that women feel all righteous and superior that men don't memorize 20 different laundry settings but most women apparently can't manage to remember a two position toilet seat.
he actually looks pretty reliable. Once he is president his fervent supporters won't really be that important to him, because unlike Bush Obama actually wants to govern well.
sure it makes her look bad and presumably would in a general sense "cost" her, but without knowing specifics you can't say for sure that it is worse for her than for him, and it is theoretically possible that this is a rational attempt to get "justice", I admit this looks unlikely.
I am simply looking at the social and biological facts of life as they manifest in the world generally in regard to males and females, you and the other "gender is a social construct and men and women are the same" crowd are choosing to ignore those facts and propagandize in the service of a political and cultural agenda. Really there is no need for a lot of metaphysical speculation about what is going on.
this just isn't the place to compile it and you know it. No summary or passing reference that could reasonably, or unreasonably, be put here is going to resolve anything.
but as long as feminists refuse to admit that there LEGITIMATE differences that need to be dealt with and instead insist that men and women either are or should be the same or alternatively (often contradictorily or incoherently and unconsciously) that whenever there are real differences men should always defer to women it is going to be difficult to solve anything.
Consciously or subconsciously a lot of women know that there isn't going to be a voluntary resolution and are relying on the coming economic and political obsolesence of male strength and aggression and women's somewhat increased freedom from the demands of reproductive biology combined with increased female educational success to simply dictate terms. The labeling of any unacceptable views as misogyny regardless of the motive or the manner in which they are delivered demonstrates this approach which seems to be relatively successful so far.
even though none of this has really anything to do with her and she and Obama are political twins basically.
i would have thought that being bigger worriers women would have been more cautious than men
besides this, women are more social, they have their own "social teams" i.e. cliques, and the subordinate females worship and love the alpha girls in a way that would be the envy...hmm..maybe not.. of any male leader (this also explains why women who reach positions of authority often feel dissed by there male subordinates, NO male ever gets worshiped by his same sex subordinates the way an alpha girl does).
this is actually literally true, almost everyone has heard of the studies which show that women are most attracted to men with the most "testosteroneized" features, heavy jaw, etc. when they are at the most fertile point of their cycle.
perhaps it has moved from studying how bad men are to studying the fact that they are "really" just like women, or have I got the direction of movement reversed.
is in the girls panties
This is the truth alright, there's no other explanation for how an anti male female supremacist ideology could become universally accepted as an aspiration for equality.
and the standards men have to meet for hotness are higher than those for women.
most women, at least when young, are considered worth SOMEBODYS attention.
it happens to men too, to some degree at least, it just takes longer than with women.
Are you suggesting they are being less than honest with themselves and others? Independent of self reporting by women I hear old guys get turned down by old women too, (it may be true that among the truly elderly the rejection ratio between the sexes may become somewhat more equal, although probably it's a question of capability more than anything else).
and it gets "worse" with age, so the facts suggest the situation isn't ALL projection on my and others part.
barfing is a way to avoid (some of) the ill effects.
The point here may be that two people can experience the EXACT SAME motivation and compulsion to overeat, but for unrelated reasons one may be more concerned about getting fat and will barf and one may be less so and will not.
